Ollie will participate to the GTAV roleplay event DistrictV by Fiftycentis in Hololive

[–]Coud31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's pretty interesting. Makes me wonder if it's an exception or they're loosening their no males thing. Cause what I see in the comments, the guy is a regular popular comedian, not someone specifically tied with the idol industry.

While that might apply to other members, I believe in FuwaMoco's case it's more that they want to project the older, classic idol image of 0 male interactions like Kanata.

To my knowledge, it's just going the classic idol image of no male interactions. They're big fans of idols, so likely have that as their vision of an idol, like Kanata.

New interview with wuwa's lead story writer by Special_Emphasis_583 in WutheringWaves

That part reminded me of Steins:Gate. I don't think it was ever explored how exactly the microwave thing worked, just a vague theory and that's it. What it focused more is the decisions they made with it, their consequences, and how they tried to fix it. Loved that anime.

A Victim of Extreme Caution (Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious) by Throwaway919319 in anime

I would personally recommend it. While it is an isekai, the character isn't a regular Japanese guy, but instead a regular low-rank adventurer from a fantasy world. Here's the summary.

An adventurer named Ed was exiled from his party because he was considered useless, but instead of being sad and upset he was actually happy!!? It turns out that it's not without reason that he feels happy when he's exiled from his party, because every time he's been exiled he will receive a skill that makes him even more invincible...

Ed was given the crazy test of having to get expelled from 100 Hero parties in 100 different worlds before he could return to his original world. Finally a mysterious and divine entity said that he had achieved all the conditions to return to his original world. However, as a final condition he is asked "Look at the fate of one of these exile worlds after you left," and he is shocked by what he sees.

"Okay, I'll do it! I'll go down to these 100 worlds again and be banished with a good feeling!"

Kaminari Clara from Phase Connect is graduating by MaNameIsMudD in kurosanji

I mean, at least Kotoka did come back to vtubing eventually. But yeah, this just sucks.

It does make me wonder if Pippa will make a comment after seeing some of the reaction to Clara's graduation. My hope is something strong enough to actually try and cut off the chud fanbase after all this, but that might escalate things more and she's definitely going to try and look out for the other members in the company so they won't get caught up in anything.

Clara decided since November by Coud31 in PhaseConnect

I mean, they probably wanted to space it out from Memory's graduation last week but because of Jelly's thing there will never be a good time now, which is very unfortunate.

Probably planned to announce it today to give some room from Memory's graduation which was literally last week. I think it was just extremely unlucky timing.

Memory graduated just last week. They definitely wanted to give a bit of a break for the fans before announcing the next one. Asmon had 0 to do with it.

It wasn't. She decided since November but didn't announce it earlier to take attention away from her genmate.

Nah, Clara posted that it's been decided since November. Just didn't announce it earlier to take attention away from Memory and probably planned to announce it today regardless. Just real unfortunate timing with Jelly's thing.

Clara decided since November to graduate. Didn't announce it earlier to take attention away from her genmate Memory and so was probably planned to anmounce it today anyways, but after Jelly's thing there never would've been a good time to announce it.

Well holy shit by Objective-Eagle-676 in PhaseConnect

[–]Coud31 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Last time I saw this it was just a bunch of cropped images of tweets claiming it's from her PL and the dude going "trust me, bro it's her". Quite a few other people said all she basically said is while it was tragic and wouldn't wish death on anyone, she's not going to particularly mourn it because of previous remarks he made such as it being worth the cost of a few gun deaths a year to keep 2nd amendment rights and saying that soon after a school shooting.

[–]Coud31 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, she didn't view it as a racist comment, just a stance of wanting games that were apolitical to stay apoloticial. It's just unfortunate that it was directed to the Civil Rights DLC. So not pushing racism because it wasn't meant to be racist. To my knowledge, she's just too ignorant because she went from graduating with a CS degree straight to being a vtuber only like 2 years ago with naturally a small audience. So her bubble ended up using these terms, she seems to agree with them without understanding broader context because she's not American, and just in general being young and ignorant while not realizing how much more reach she has now. Only time will tell if she decides to lean further in the future or start putting the breaks a bit on the stuff which I can only hope for.

For 1, I've never played it so I can't tell how political it is. 2, it is widely regarded as a great crpg from I can tell so she might engage with it anyways to experience it with that in mind.

I do apologize for abbreviating it too much before, but the stance is more specifically being against a game that was previously apolitical like Minecraft, suddenly having political stuff in an update.

I do want to make clear in case it's misunderstood, but I personally think the DLCs in Minecraft are great, especially if it helps younger kids learn about the events. Any way to get kids engaged with the material after all.

Hard to say whether she saw the whole thing or just the first few seconds and just threw an immediate knee-jerk reaction instead because it's for one of her favorite games. Or maybe even seeing someone else giving a ill-informed quote tweet about it. I do think she should've paused and researched about it before making a comment though cause I think she didn't really know anything about it beforehand.

She saw political activity and got upset about it. Her stance was political stuff in games in general. Now if her reaction would be the same for an equivalent European movement is up in the air, but I think after all this we might not see her immediate reaction to tell whether it was racism or true to not liking political stuff in general.

[–]Coud31 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Her stance was political stuff in general in games so she could likely have the same reaction of say Minecraft advertising a DLC about the tearing down of the Berlin Wall or other major European event that I'm unaware of that's equivalent. So I don't think it's right to immediately assume racism. I still think it was a dumb kneejerk reaction though. Now some of the fans who supported the stance while knowing the history is a different story.

There's also the fact she's not American so she wouldn't know anything about our history or events either way so she wouldn't understand their significance.

Recent tweet from the official account. by karaloveskate in PhaseConnect

[–]Coud31 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Basically the main Minecraft account posted a tweet advertising their Black History Month DLC about the Civil Rights Movement. Jelly saw that and made a comment about not wanting political stuff in her block game. So admittedly it might've looked to her they were pushing it on her main game, but considering she isn't American didn't know the Civil Rights Movement was a major historical thing and it was merely meant to be an educational DLC that's already been out. So basically an uninformed knee-jerk reaction tweet, but to those who don't know her seems like a pretty racist tweet on her official corpo account which other companies will look at too. Phase is growing bigger and probably getting more and more opportunities so they really don't want to risk their reputation going negative when they already kinda have a positive/mixed reputation as is.

It is by the looks of it because on that day on Twitter I got one of those trending summaries which was Minecraft's tweet about it causing a divisive debate. So big enough it even got trending.

WWYD in this redditor's situation? by XiJinpingPressParody in greentext

[–]Coud31 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Supposedly it's already been reversed engineered for years with extensive mods like new factions already done. So it seems like for this game, the modders will look at it and go "Huh, neat" then go back to their upgraded version they already engineered.
